Hi Santa, my brother from leeds arrived on the 7th of Dec and looking forward to hot weather, but so far he hasn't had too much of it, it has been quite wet and cool with a sunny day now and again.I had to work away for a couple of days and came home to a decorated lounge and Christmas tree.Yippee.

Nice to see your family can come to see you, still very cold here, our family are celebrating in Leeds this Saturday as it is my better half birthday and having a day out seems there is going to be a continental market there, and they all want to go there and our son has booked us all for a meal, our daughter and her partner are coming up for a couple of days, and they are going to visit us on Sunday after visiting his parents whom live on the outskirts of Leeds and then they also are going to warmer places. Things are looking good for our house move, we are downsizing to a bungalow and it is surprising how much one collects in clothes and ornaments, still we can expect it having lived here for 33 years. Hope your brother enjoys is stay over with you, ask him to bring some sunshine back with him. if only. Have a great Xmas and a very happy NEW YEAR.

What a busy time ahead for you, downsizing what a huge task for you both, what area are you moving to? and when do you get to move. It's great you are going to see your family in the next few days, I.wonder if that is the German market you are going to see? my brother went to see it with our sister just before he left Have a wonderful time with your family. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both.

You would not believe it we are moving two avenues down getting a smaller house, in fact it is a bungalow, as one get's older one would not have to many steps to climb and this one is handy for the buses and that means we can go out a lot more, with less to look after and it has a smaller garden, did your brother get andy bargains, we have been to quite a few of these continental markets and find they fluctuate quite a lot.Hope you also have a merry christmas, and a very new year. l o l Santa.

Hi Slippers we went to the continental market, fabulous also went to some of their pubs and then we went for something to eat at a Indian restaurant called Myers fabulous place nothing to much bother
When we asked for the tab the staff said it had been paid, seems our Daughter and her partner had done the honours,, so we walked to the Marriet Hotel where or daughter and partner was staying, Stuart that is our daughters better half had just been made a Director of his company, so yes we all put together and ordered 2 bottles of the best champagne. then we had to go to catch our train back to where we started and when we got to the station managed to get a minibus to take us all home. all in all we had a fabulous night. lots of love Santa.

Hi Santa, It was so good to hear from you and to hear what a fabulous time you had with your family, you certainly fitted in a lot of interesting things to do.I know the Marriet Hotel but never stayed there.Good champagne and calling at pubs maybe Rudolph wasn't the only one with a red nose (haha) I am so pleased you had this special time with your family before the big move.Most of our houses are one level and English visitors often refer to them as Bungalows, when I was back in England two years ago I soon learnt not to forget to take downstairs what I needed for the day and anything to take upstairs was put on the bottom step till I needed to go up.Been so busy this last week what with working and getting ready for Christmas, We had 16 family members for a BBQ breakfast and present opening, that's my special time having my family around me, in February we welcome our 1st great grandchild, a little girl (Mya)just can't wait.Well over here it is time for a glass of wine and sometime's I put Soda Water in it as I weather is getting Quite hot. Take care Happy moving.Heaps of love.Slippers.
